results table as a strike-through). This is an important tool for selectively eliminating a well
from the calculations.
F. Results table: Contains the calculated results for the run.
• The results table can be maximized for improved visibility.
• Use the Combine Replicates function to display an average of replicate readings (click
again to revert).
• The calculated results will vary according to the method of analysis – see Chapter 4 for
analysis-specific explanation.
G. Graphical display of data: The graphs displayed in the Results Editor will vary according to
the analysis method chosen and the report options selected during setup (further details for
each analysis method can be found in Chapter 4).
The icons found at the top-right of each graph allow the user to:
Maximize a pane – the graph will fill half the screen so aiding visibility.
Minimize a pane – will revert a maximized graph to normal size.
Close a pane – remaining panes will be automatically rearranged.
Brings up the analysis parameters relevant to the graph (see Changing the
analysis parameters in section 3.7.4).
H. Graph icons: Clicking the icons at the top-left allow the user to open any graphs or results
that either have not been shown automatically or that have been actively closed. While
specific icons do appear for specific analysis methods (see Chapter 4), the following examples
are common to all or most analysis methods.
Displays a graph of raw data showing fluorescence plotted against cycle number.
Displays a graph of the background corrected data
Displays a graph showing the block temperature
Displays the results table
Displays a graph of the standard curve (where applicable).
The PrimeQ Report can be printed simply by selecting the Print option within the
Report tab or selecting the print icon.
I. Show All Wells: Clicking this button restores the graphical display of data from all wells if
previously only one or a few wells have been highlighted. This is particularly useful if one of
the graphs has been maximized as the user does not have to return to the plate layout display
to re-select the data.
J. Finish/save icons: The results file can be saved at any point during the setup using typical
Windows commands.
However, if the padlock icon in the top-left of the Results Editor screen is locked,
the current file in use is designated read only. This provides a useful tool to protect
against the accidental over-writing of files meaning that if a file of the same name
exists in the destination folder, this file would have to be saved under a different
